What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a person who violates state law or a local ordinance prohibiting the operation of a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant or with a prohibited blood alcohol concentration is subject to having his or her operating privileges suspended or revoked. The duration of the suspension or revocation generally depends upon how many times the person has violated the state law or local ordinance and generally ranges from six months to three years. A person's period of revocation may be doubled for certain violations.
This bill prohibits a person whose operating privileges have been suspended or revoked for a violation relating to operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated from purchasing or leasing from another person a motor vehicle while his or her operating privileges are suspended or revoked. Under the bill, if a person whose operating privileges have been suspended or revoked has an occupational license, that person may purchase or lease a motor vehicle as long as the occupational license is in effect.
Read the full summary Show less
A person who purchases or leases a motor vehicle in violation of the prohibition is guilty of a Class I felony and subject to a fine of up to $10,000, imprisonment of up to three years and six months, or both.
Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime, the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a report concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to result if the bill is enacted.
